Objective

  The aim of this systematic review was to assess the clinical and imaging findings of keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KOT). This article also attempts to determine the prevalence of KOTs and orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst (OOC) in the western Indian population and to compare demographic and radiographic findings of KOT of our cohort with that of the rest of the world.

 Study Design

 Relevant publications on KOT were reviewed from the published literature from 1976 to March 2012. Data regarding the 72 additional cases from Mumbai also were analyzed.

 Results

  Sixty-five reports were identified for this systematic review. The findings were divided into 4 global groups for analysis. The prevalence of KOT was 0.0173% and that of OOC 0.0012%. Male sex, mandible, and the unilocular variation were predominant for the additional cases.

 Conclusions

  The characterization of the KOT lesions was accomplished, taking into consideration the variations to the western Indian population.
